Jimmy Bennett is a young millionaire and powerful speaker who travels the world endorsing mindset change as the key to a better life. However, many may not know that he spent years as a victim before achieving all the success he enjoys today.
At 15 years of age, Jimmy was a homeless high school dropout who spent many nights on a bench in a public park. He spent his time in countless dead-end jobs, even selling narcotics at one point. But, instead of seeing his failure as a product of wrong beliefs, Jimmy took it as his destiny. He lived out of his suitcase in 7 different cities and even spent some time living in his uncle’s garage.
During that time, Jimmy’s lack of education started getting in the way of many things. The realization that knowledge did hold power set in, and he enrolled in a local college. It was then that he met two people who influenced his life remarkably and effortlessly by the simple act of belief. The first was his basketball coach, Kevin Robbins, who kept him on a path of sorts whilst growing up. He became the only authority figure Jimmy had for many years. The second was Chichester College’s athletic tutor, Matt Wright and the music teacher Aldith Smith. They identified his potential and helped him start believing in himself.
Today, years after he was a hopeless teenager, Jimmy is passionate about providing a similar support system to disadvantaged teens. He recently launched “Mentors for Minors,” a program that focuses on empowering and transforming the lives of children from underprivileged backgrounds. He also owns a financial services consultancy, owns a crypto platform and is a voice for many.
The boy who once lived on the streets of the UK is now the multimillionaire with his own private yacht. He is based in Dubai, but he spends a lot of time traveling the world sharing his story of hope to thousands. Jimmy’s new book Zero to 100 fully chronicles the many challenges he has had to overcome on his journey. It is set to release early next year.
As a successful serial entrepreneur and investor with numerous investments across the world, Jimmy is also an author, speaker, and life coach helping others create a better world for themselves. He runs multiple ventures globally, and contributes towards helping vulnerable groups. He also takes time off from his business schedule to travel the world, sharing his story of hope and resilience to inspire others.
A passionate philanthropist, Jimmy also hosts other top personalities who share moving stories of triumph over many life adversities. For example, he recently played host to Les Brown, a globally celebrated speaker, and the Wolf of the Wall Street businessman Jordan Belfort. Jimmy invites these personalities to share their stories and give hope to the hopeless in the world. He trusts that many people worldwide need someone to remind them of their self-worth, just like he did many years ago.
Jimmy went from being homeless, living on the streets of the UK, battling a chronic autoimmune disease, to becoming a multi-millionaire. He is living proof that anyone can overcome any situation to become whoever they want to be in life. He believes that success comes to those who dare to dream and act. According to him, you are the vision bearer and the only one who knows it. You have to face the world and showcase your potential for others to believe in you. Never doubt your abilities, but instead, endeavor to learn how to perfect and enhance them. Jimmy believes that your potential has to match your passion if you want to go after it.
Surrounding yourself with like-minded people is also another great way to unlock your inner potential. Jimmy says your vibe attracts your tribe and you need to have people who share the same or even bigger dreams
